Chapter 308 I promise that Luo Hao is still alive! (Small additional update)

Dad Liu felt like he was dead, but his last thought was - are there finally tigers in Qinling Mountains?
Since the liberation, when the last tiger was discovered in Qinling Mountains in the 50s, the Qinling tiger, a branch of the South China tiger, has disappeared.

Unexpectedly, I encountered the long-lost Qinling tiger in the chaotic early morning.

The bloody mouth was just half a meter away, and Dad Liu could clearly see the tiger's uvula, esophagus, stomach, and the flowers on its underwear.

But the tiger did not pounce. Half of its body was hanging in the air, posing for nearly half a second.

This half second seemed as long as a century, as if time had been suspended by Taoism.

"Ow~"

The tiger's roar broke the pause in time and everything returned to normal.

The Qinling tiger was pulled back with great force and fell to the ground, with a fat bear paw rubbing its head.

Bamboo rode on the Qinling tiger's back. As soon as the Qinling tiger raised its head, Bamboo would slap it with a bang.

The force of the sound made Liu and the staff's eyelids twitch and they couldn't open their eyes.

The force of the bamboo palm hitting the Qinling tiger is likely to be enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, but the Qinling tiger did not suffer serious injuries.

Really high defense.

The Qinling tiger tried to struggle, but the power of the bamboo crushed its strength.

Until finally, the Qinling tiger simply lay on the ground, motionless.

Zhuzi rubbed it twice more, and seeing that the Qinling Tiger didn't move, he made a satisfied "嘤" sound and got off the Qinling Tiger.

It glanced at Grandpa Liu, turned its back and stopped looking.

Daddy Liu knew that Zhuzi still had a temper towards him, so he had to coax her every time they met.

However, when he saw that Zhuzi was alive and well and was fine, Grandpa Liu finally felt relieved.

"Zhu Zi, did you meet new friends today?" Daddy Liu walked to Zhu Zi and rubbed his head.

"Bang~"

Just as the Qinling tiger was about to move, a huge mace hit it next to it, splashing dust, mud and branches everywhere.

The Qinling tiger was frightened by the ferocious momentum and just lay down obediently, closing its eyes and pretending to be dead.

Dad Liu was also shocked. After all, there were not only bamboos, but also a wild Qinling tiger nearby.

"Hey~"

Bamboo lies down, exposing its belly.

Daddy Liu forgot about the Qinling tiger and squatted beside the bamboo, scratching its belly with a smile on his face.

Zhuzi was only willing to expose her most vulnerable parts to Luo Hao, Chen Yong and herself. This meant she was no longer angry, and Daddy Liu knew it.

As for the Qinling tiger... isn't there still bamboo?

The staff member who came with Liu Naiba hid more than ten steps away and tried to persuade Liu Naiba several times, but every time he wanted to speak, he saw the mace next to Qinlinghu.

Luo Hao and Chen Yong arranged several supply points for Zhuzi in the Qinling Mountains, but Zhuzi had never used them.

I didn't expect that Bamboo would need supplies today.

While scratching Zhuzi's belly, Daddy Liu observed his surroundings.

Supplies have been dug out from the ground, a large box and mace. In the box is a military backpack, which contains food and medicine.

There were wounds on the back of the Qinling tiger, probably caused by being bitten by a pack of jackals.

After seeing this scene, Liu had a guess. It should be that Zhuzi encountered a rare Qinling tiger being besieged by a pack of jackals, and Zhuzi "righteously" rescued the Qinling tiger.

It is said that bamboo is very human-like. After only a few days of growing in the wild, it already has little friends. Dad Liu feels relieved.

Qinling tiger, this is a Qinling tiger.

Although it doesn't look like the legendary Qinling tiger, it was found in Qinling Mountains, so it must be a Qinling tiger.

After a few minutes, the bamboo felt satisfied after being tickled, and it made a "hmm" sound and got up.

The cute Zhuzi hugged Liu Nanba and rubbed against him, then turned around and came to the Qinling tiger.

It picked up the disinfectant spray, pressed it with its sharp claws, and disinfected the Qinling tiger's wound.

A set of processes is made smooth and flowing by bamboo.

Although a little clumsy, each step was relatively standard, even beyond the level of ordinary people like Liu and the staff who were not familiar with the technique.

After disinfection, Zhuzi began to bandage the Qinling tiger. Whenever the Qinling tiger felt pain and wanted to move, Zhuzi would always arrive first and hit the Qinling tiger with a big slap.

The banging sounds were so frightening that if it were a human, it would have been smashed to pieces long ago.

But this level of attack is nothing but a joke to the Qinling tiger's defense.

But it didn't dare to go against Bamboo's wishes, so it just lay there obediently, wailing.

Only after the bandage was completed did Zhuzi feel satisfied and took the positioning collar off his neck.

Oh shit!

The bamboo actually knew it was wearing a locator!
Grandpa Liu and the staff were stunned when they saw Zhuzi's action.

The positioning of giant pandas has also been improved over generations.

The infrared grid method was first used, and more than 480 signal receiving devices were placed throughout the Qinling Mountains, each of which could cover an area of ​​about 5 square kilometers.

Later, it became GPS positioning, and now it is Beidou positioning.

The signal sources are either implanted in the body or signal collars.

At the insistence of Luo Hao and Chen Yong, a positioning collar was used for bamboo.

I didn't expect that bamboo also knew the use of this thing.

It took off the positioning collar and put it on the Qinling tiger, then made a "嘤" sound and slapped the Qinling tiger on the body.

With a roar, the Qinling tiger fled in panic.

Although it knows that the bamboo is friendly to it, the Qinling tiger senses more danger signals in the bamboo, so when the bamboo "let" it run, it disappears into the mountains and forests of Qinling without looking back.

Daddy Liu stared blankly at the direction where the Qinling tiger left, thinking about many things.

A few years ago, people were discussing that there would be elephants in the Nanhe River and possibly in the Qinling Mountains within 50 years.

Unexpectedly, the Qinling tiger has "quietly" reappeared.

Dad Liu was a little excited.

When he came to his senses, he saw Zhuzi put the remaining supplies into a box, buried it in the ground, and finally spread some dead leaves on it as camouflage.

Although useless, the supplies are like non-existent to wild animals. No one cares if they are not fragrant or edible.

After doing all this, Zhuzi picked up a bamboo pole and came back. He quickly made two bamboo sticks by biting and scratching, and handed them over to Grandpa Liu and the staff.

Growing up, the bamboo has finally grown up... Daddy Liu took the bamboo stick and burst into tears.

I didn't talk to Zhuzi, but Zhuzi seemed to know that Grandpa Liu came to find it to take it back to the base.

Zhuzi walked in front with her butt twisted, and Liu the Grandpa and the staff followed.

Liu has been observing the bamboo, and there is no significant change in the bamboo. If there is any change, it seems to have become a little thicker.

Moreover, the route chosen was a relatively flat road, which was much easier to walk than the road that Liu and the staff took into the mountains.

Seeing Zhuzi twisting her butt in such a cute way, Liu was increasingly puzzled. What happened to Dr. Chen? Zhuzi didn't look like anything was wrong.

I also have to tell him every five minutes whether the bamboo is alive.

When Grandpa Liu looked at the bamboo, he felt that even if he died of old age, this thing could still live a strong life.

From a distance, we saw the Foping base.

It was already past three in the afternoon, and Daddy Liu and the staff were so tired that they could not even straighten their backs.

The bamboo didn't change at all, it just slowed down to allow Grandpa Liu and the staff to keep up.

A figure was standing on a high place. After seeing the bamboo, he raised his hand and waved, then ran down in one breath.

But he lost his balance and almost rolled down the hill.

It was Dr. Chen. He arrived and Dad Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

The bamboo started to run wildly. People who have never raised a dog have no idea how it feels when a dog runs towards you.

Chen Yong knew.

Although Zhuzi was "adopted" by Luo Hao, Chen Yong was very pleased that the boy still remembered him in his heart.

But when the bamboos came towards us like a small mountain, all the warmth turned into fear.

Bamboo is strong again!
Moreover, Chen Yong did not notice that Zhuzi missed him. The corners of its short lips were slightly raised, revealing its fangs.

Hey!
Chen Yong dodged by rolling and crawling.

Zhuzi didn't chase Chen Yong, but just yelled at him twice to express his dissatisfaction.

Could it be that Zhuzi is unhappy? Chen Yong thought.

Perhaps it was because Zhuzi was "adopted" as a spiritual pet that made him a little unhappy.

But seeing the bamboo jumping around meant that Luo Hao was fine, and Chen Yong breathed a sigh of relief.

I'm glad you're okay. That bastard Luo Hao is really restless. When he went to open a society, he could cause chaos and even bring about fatal disasters.

After seeing the bamboo, Chen Yong's uneasy heart finally calmed down a little, and he had time to criticize Luo Hao's "wanton behavior".

Zhuzi only expressed her dissatisfaction to a limited extent, and then lay down beside Chen Yong and started playing with him.

It’s okay, Luo Hao should be fine. Chen Yong finally felt relieved.

I know that good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years.

There must be nothing wrong with that bastard Luo Hao, definitely.

After returning to the Foping base, Chen Yong took some bedding and bamboo to live with.

"Doctor Chen, it's not necessary." Daddy Liu also entered the bamboo rest area, sat next to Chen Yong and persuaded him.

Chen Yong didn't say anything, he just rubbed the bamboo, his eyes were empty, no one knew what he was thinking.

"Doctor Chen, why are you so nervous?" Daddy Liu asked tentatively.

Chen Yong still didn't speak.

There are some things that cannot be said to Old Liu, and Chen Yong cannot say them to Grandpa Liu either.

Should I tell Liu that Luo Hao and Zhuzi are like a pair of entangled quantum particles and can complete real-time quantum communication?

Isn't this a joke?

Or tell Liu that Bamboo is Luo Hao's natal spirit pet, and if Luo Hao dies, Bamboo will have a heart attack in the next second.

Seeing that the bamboo was strong, Chen Yong just rubbed it.

"Doctor Chen, is there anything I can do for you?" Dad Liu asked helplessly.

"No need, Grandpa Liu, you are busy. I will be here to look after the bamboo for two days, don't worry, it will be fine."

"Oh, okay." Daddy Liu responded but did not leave. He stayed in silence to accompany Zhuzi and Chen Yong.

……

……

"Luo Hao is dead?" Gu Huaiming looked at his boss in surprise, his eyes almost popping out.

"I checked and there's news." Boss Zhou seemed to be in the terminal stage. His asthma was very loud when he spoke, which made Gu Huaiming very uncomfortable. He wanted to insert a suction tube into the boss's mouth to suck out all the phlegm in his respiratory tract.

People who work in thoracic surgery can't stand hearing this kind of voice. "Boss, please take a break, take a break." Gu Huaiming didn't have time to judge whether the matter was true or not. He hoped that the boss would not get too angry.

Boss Zhou's expression was calm and serious, not as sad as Gu Huaiming had imagined.

Boss Zhou, who is used to seeing life and death, is usually irritable, but at this moment he is exceptionally calm.

"Call Luo Hao's home and ask them to take good care of him. Luo Hao is gone now, so take good care of his family." Boss Zhou was silent for a long time and then spoke softly.

"Okay." Gu Huaiming thought about it, picked up his phone and made a call to express his condolences.

What should I say?

Gu Huaiming hadn't reacted yet to the thought of Luo Hao's inexplicable "death".

But he knew a lot of things and did not doubt his boss's judgment.

They are becoming more and more arrogant and rampant. Could it be that they have realized something, which is why there have been so many assassinations in recent years?

The phone was picked up quickly.

"Hello, Director Gu." Lin Yuming's greetings came from the other end of the phone.

???

Gu Huaiming was stunned.

Lin Yuming's voice was enthusiastic, without any sadness at all, not even a little bit.

Lin Yuming's voice on the phone was warm, friendly, and even a little cautious, just like normal.

Gu Huaiming was very smart and he immediately came up with his own guess.

"Director Lin, are you busy recently?"

"Not busy, not busy. We have a staff representative meeting today and I'm preparing some materials." Lin Yuming said with a smile.

"How are you doing at home?"

"Very good... Director Gu, do you have any instructions?" Lin Yuming was confused and asked directly.

"Well, the boss wants to go to Yabuli to escape the summer heat. I'm not familiar with that place. Xiao Luo has gone to the United States for a meeting and he's not here. I can only ask you, Old Lin." Gu Huaiming said "relaxedly".

"Yabuli, great! Welcome, welcome!"

Lin Yuming was so surprised and delighted that the exclamation mark in his words could no longer be restrained from bursting out.

Gu Huaiming had his own judgment. He said a few perfunctorily without saying anything, asking Lin Yuming to help him find out about going to Yabuli for summer vacation. Then he vaguely told Lin Yuming that his boss had some things to do and he would go there after he was done.

After a few more pleasantries, Gu Huaiming hung up the phone.

"Boss, Luo Hao's family doesn't know about this." Gu Huaiming reported in a deep voice.

Boss Zhou also heard the conversation between Gu Huaiming and Lin Yuming. He frowned and called Chen Yong.

"Xiao Chen, you haven't told your family about Luo Hao's matter?" Boss Zhou asked in a deep voice.

"Mr. Zhou, I only told you." Chen Yong replied, "I didn't tell the department, the hospital, or Boss Chai. The main thing is that Luo Hao is still alive."

"Alive?" Boss Zhou smiled bitterly, helpless.

He knew that this was just Chen Yong's hope, or even a luxury.

The embassy staff reported back home what happened in Baltimore yesterday.

The scale of the incident was horrifying.

But no matter how serious the situation was, Luo Hao was alone. Even the Baltimore Bridge collapsed. How could Luo Hao still be alive?

joke.

"Boss, it's true." Chen Yong said seriously, "Luo Hao is definitely still alive, I guarantee it."

"How did you know?"

"I am a Taoist priest, a casual cultivator of the heritage... I calculated it myself."

"Fuck!" Boss Zhou was originally wondering what the connection between Luo Hao and Chen Yong was, but he didn't expect to hear such an unreliable statement.

Boss Zhou couldn't help but swore.

It was already this late, but Chen Yong was still joking and playing around.

"Boss, it's true, please believe me." Chen Yong wanted to use his party spirit and principles as a guarantee, but then he thought, he is a member of the masses.

"I'll use my reputation as a great magician... Never mind, you don't believe me. Elder Zhou, I'm really sure that Luo Hao is still alive, really alive!"

"Do you know what happened last night and in the early hours of the morning?"

"I don't know. I'm at the Foping base now."

"There were serial shootings in Baltimore City, and at about 1 a.m., a freighter crashed into the Baltimore Bridge."

"It was all Luo Hao who did it? That's impossible." Chen Yong was stunned.

"I don't know if he did it, I can only say it's possible. I also hope Luo Hao is alive, more than you do. But we have to respect the facts and respect objectivity."

"Boss, the objective fact is that Luo Hao is still alive!"

Chen Yong answered firmly.

Mr. Zhou was speechless.

He judged from Chen Yong's words that the young man's thinking was confused.

This can be seen from the fact that the two titles, Mr. Zhou and Boss, appear alternately.

He wanted to persuade Chen Yong again, but Mr. Zhou felt sad and empathized with him, so he shut up and stopped talking.

He has seen many similar situations, so let's talk about it after this period of time.

"Mr. Zhou! Wait a moment!!"

"Huh?" Just as Mr. Zhou was about to hang up the phone, he heard Chen Yong anxiously shout to stop.

"Don't tell Luo Hao's family that Luo Hao is really still alive!" Chen Yong shouted.

"Ugh."

“I can’t explain it to you, but I’m a master’s degree holder from the University of Exeter, I have a certificate as a great magician, and I’m also from Qingcheng Mountain… Never mind, I have some superpowers and can sense it.”

"Superpowers? The one you use to attract lightning?"

"That was a lie to the little girl, but I am sure that Luo Hao is still alive." Chen Yong said firmly.

His tone was firm, like a spear or a halberd.

Even someone as determined as Boss Zhou was a little shaken.

Chen Yong’s words were like a fuse, igniting Boss Zhou’s “dreams” and “extravagant hopes” deep in his heart.

There was silence for a long time.

"Chen Yong, can I trust you?"

"Yes!" Chen Yong gave a definite answer without hesitation, "I can't guarantee that Luo Hao can come back alive, but at least he is still alive now."

"Okay." Mr. Zhou felt a little comforted.

Just like patients with advanced cancer often ask their doctors whether they can still recover, most of this is just fantasy.

In fact, Mr. Zhou also knew it, but he was still willing to believe it.

As a human being, all we live for is a thought.

“Call me anytime you have any questions.”

"Okay, Boss. But Boss, can you contact Luo Hao?"

"No, I have already contacted the embassy in Washington, and the military attaché has responded and told you everything. It is not a secret and has been reported on American social media. You can see for yourself."

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Zhou was in a daze.

What was originally a mentally and physically stressful matter was disturbed by Chen Yong, and a glimmer of hope actually arose in Mr. Zhou's heart.

Gu Huaiming began to search for various information.

He was stunned when he saw the footage that someone happened to take by the Patapsco River.

The freighter was sailing smoothly on the Patapsco River when suddenly the power went out and everything became pitch black, as if an invisible giant hand had slapped the freighter.

The captain then activated the backup power supply, and the lights on the freighter came on, but they went out again after a few seconds.

As the freighter approached the Baltimore Bridge, the bridge seemed to be cursed and turned into hell, with thick black smoke billowing just as the freighter approached.

What is this!
Gu Huaiming was stunned beyond words. This thing was so absurd just by looking at the picture.

From the first power outage to the use of backup power supply, the captain and the first mate were very competent and did not neglect their duties.

Moreover, they responded quickly and made correct operations in accordance with the crew manual almost immediately.

But everything is destined.

As for the fact that the freighter started to emit smoke after approaching the Baltimore Bridge, it is even more incomprehensible.

In the video, the Dali freighter crashed head-on into a load-bearing bridge pier.

The Baltimore Bridge then began to collapse like a building block.

This was not done by Luo Hao, as he does not have such great ability. Judging from the video, this was not done by humans either, but rather it seemed as if an unknown giant hand was controlling all of this.

"Boss, this is too bizarre, but I checked with several news agencies, all of which are authoritative, and they confirmed that it did happen." Gu Huaiming said helplessly as he watched the collapse of the Baltimore Bridge as if he was watching a horror movie.

"Heh." Old Zhou sneered.

Gu Huai knew that his boss was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to argue with him, for fear that his boss would vent his anger on him.

……

"Something happened? Is Luo Hao so awesome?" Chen Yong frowned and pondered after hanging up the phone.

He calculated with his right hand, but no matter how he calculated, it was all blurry.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Chen Yong didn't force it. He also found the video of the Dali cargo ship crashing into the Baltimore Bridge.

A video left Chen Yong dumbfounded.

Is Luo Hao so lucky? Chen Yong's thoughts are different from Boss Zhou's.

Boss Zhou doesn't think of anything supernatural, but Chen Yong's mind is full of supernatural things.

As he searched for information carefully, Chen Yong's expression became more serious.

The full name of the Baltimore Bridge is the Francis Scott Key Bridge, named in honor of Francis Scott Key, the composer of the American national anthem.

It is said that Francis Scott Key witnessed the British bombardment of Fort McHenry and was deeply worried.

The next morning, when he saw the American flag still fluttering over the fortress through the smoke of the battlefield, he was deeply moved and wrote the poem "The Star-Spangled Banner" with passion.

This bridge has an indescribable symbolic meaning.

Although it is not the national anthem, in a sense, it is better than the national anthem. It seems that because of the name of this song, there was a misunderstanding when the diplomatic relations were established.

Chen Yong continued to search, and as more and more information came out, his eyes became wider and wider.

No wonder he couldn’t figure it out. The breakthrough was so big that Chen Yong couldn’t even imagine it.

In the territory of the old Anza pirates, capital seized by Jewish capital hired a ship built in Korea, sold to Singapore, and manned by Ukrainians and Indians to ram the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

The length of this chain made Chen Yong feel that the law is vast and nothing can escape it.

It must mean something. With a thought in mind, Chen Yong solemnly took out the three Kaiyuan Tongbao coins he carried with him.

Calming down, Chen Yong threw the Kaiyuan Tongbao into the air.
